Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

Gotta love Tracy Morgan, right? Well, even if you haven't in his SNL past -- which we find hard to believe -- dude nails it with this seemingly unending, "sweaty," riffing Halloween and Judaism tune, which started out as an aside on 30 Rock regarding a video he'd done for a song, "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah." Key line: "I nearly dropped the Torah when my hands turned into paws." (As scary as a $10 million bat mitzvah with the Aerosmith and Eagles in attendance?) Okay, there are others: "Boys becoming men. Men becoming wolves!” The lo-fi visual montage (wolf, Bar Mitzvah, Michael J. Fox, etc.) really adds to the hair-raising experience.

There are circumcision jokes, of course, but as Morgan's producer notes at the end, "This ain't no 'Dick In A Box.'" Speaking of dicks and boxes, though, are any of you dressing up like J.T. or Andy tonight? It's pretty easy: "Step One. Cut a hole in the box..."

Funniest moment of the 2007 season from the funniest show of the 2007 season.

Resistors succumb....

Shep speaks the truth. 30 Rock is in it's own league for comedy at the moment.

I don't know Shep, I'm partial to this exchange:

Jack: You're shaping up to be quite a businessman Lemon
Liz: Businesswoman, Jack
Jack: That's not a word

The last 30 Rock was perhaps the best of its still-brief run..."Never go with a hippie to a second location" and Alec Baldwin's Redd Foxx, Tracy Jordan et al. impersonations almost made me wet myself!
